2022 Map of Bailey

About this map

Bailey and Sims anchor this landscape along the southwestern edge of Nash County, where the transition from agricultural fields to low-lying wetlands defines the local geography. The area is characterized by an extensive network of named waterways, including the broad Bloomery Swamp, Toisnot Swamp, and Whiteoak Swamp, which weave between small rural settlements like Stanhope and Strickland Crossroads. To the north, the Tar River marks the terrain, while further south, Millstone Cr and Marsh Swamp suggest a landscape deeply influenced by its drainage patterns. Local history is evidenced through features such as Bailey Cem and the naming of secondary roads like Stoney Hill Church Rd and W Hornes Church Rd. A single Rock Quarry near Sims points to the region's extraction activity, providing a contrast to the primarily rural and residential nature of the outlying communities.
